Glow by J.Lo (2002)
by Jennifer Lopez

I appreciate that Jennifer Lopez wanted this perfume to smell fresh and clean, but in my opinion perfume should be about creating something that is memorable and unlike anything else. If I wanted to smell like Glow, I would go and have a shower and use my $1 soap to recreate this scent. I don't understand why celebrities like to play it safe with their fragrances, go out there and make something crazy and unique!

I find Glow to be very light and soft on the skin. The lasting power is fairly average and the scent stays very close to the skin. If you're a fan of Jennifer Lopez I'd probably skip this perfume and try some of her other fragrances.

Im going to have to give this another try but from first impressions it wasnt great. I didnt necessarily stink but it is not pleasant. It is a clean scent as in cleaning products. The fragrance is better than clorox but bug spray, 409, and windex have it beat. I wouldnt wear this because it almost stinks on me. I can understand how people say it smells like bug spray, but bug spray smells much better. The scent doesnt evolve on me at all. It goes straight to cleaning product scent and stay there. I believe it lasted around 6 to 8 hours on me. Im not about the sillage though. I will update if anything changes.

This is somewhat ordinary but still quite pleasant. There is sometimes almost a "sunscreen" or lotion scent in the middle notes. It's floral and pretty but nothing particularly exciting. Like others have said, it is very clean and soapy and will last, with decent sillage as well. I probably wouldn't spend much on a full bottle (although it comes pretty cheap anyway) but having a few samples around for the summer is nice. I don't think it would be as nice in the winter.

Many frags are said to smell "clean & soapy" well Glow really is just that which is why I love it. It lasts all day on me and sillage is great but stays fresh and soft. All I can say is even after playing polo I still smell great and that's saying something. Another thing I like is no one ever asks me what I'm wearing I get "God you smell good" and really isn't that what we all want?

Not being a fan of Ms. Lopez, I was not expecting to like Glow, nor would I ever have expected to make this a part of my "so-called" collection. (Explanation: When I purchased it approximately two years ago, I had only a few bottles of perfume in my dresser drawer.)

My best friend and I were at the perfume counter and she encouraged me to sample it. Despite my reluctance, after one whiff, I became enamoured of this fresh, clean, soapy scent. It was later on that I discovered Ms. L designed this fragrance to remind one of that just-stepped-out-of-the-shower feeling. Up until then, I hadn't quite been able to put my finger on that description, but it's the most apt and is, of course, from the horse's mouth.

Surprisingly, I've received more compliments on this than any other fragrance I've ever worn IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I wore it almost exclusively that first summer and people consistently (practically daily) inquired about my perfume, telling me how lovely I smelled. As I've since accumulated several additional perfumes, I now only use it occasionally; mostly just before bed after a nice, relaxing bath.

Although it's fairly light, it does have exceptional lasting power and sillage (at least on me). I, personally, never got the impression of sexiness, but many men have remarked otherwise, including several "Fragrantican" gentlemen. If you love clean, soft, soapy, light florals, then this is one you won't want to be without.

I don't dislike 'Glow', I should say. But I finally realized what it smells just like (It occurs to me, I use or have used another product,which smells just like 'Glow', every time I smell it).
It's the same smell that is used to scent Proactiv solution. I actually like the smell of my acne regimen; it's creamy and soothing, but twice a day is all I need.

I do not think this one smells sexy.
